A monorepo might sound like a big, intimidating thing, but we're going to break it down to just the bare essentials. A monorepo helps you better manage the relationships that already exist between your projects. Once we understand those relationships, we can use tools to very quickly define them and pull them together into a more cohesive whole.

This talk has been presented at React Summit US 2024, check out the latest edition of this React Conference.

NPM workspaces help manage multiple nested packages within a single top-level package, improving since the release of NPM CLI 7.0. You can easily add dependencies to workspaces and handle duplications. Running scripts and orchestration in a monorepo is made easier with NPM workspaces. The npm pkg command is useful for setting and retrieving keys and values from package.json files. NPM workspaces offer benefits compared to Lerna and future plans include better workspace linking and adding missing features.

End the Pain: Rethinking CI for Large Monorepos
Today's Talk discusses rethinking CI in monorepos, with a focus on leveraging the implicit graph of project dependencies to optimize build times and manage complexity. The use of NX Replay and NX Agents is highlighted as a way to enhance CI efficiency by caching previous computations and distributing tasks across multiple machines. Fine-grained distribution and flakiness detection are discussed as methods to improve distribution efficiency and ensure a clean setup. Enabling distribution with NX Agents simplifies the setup process, and NX Cloud offers dynamic scaling and cost reduction. Overall, the Talk explores strategies to improve the scalability and efficiency of CI pipelines in monorepos.

This Talk discusses the transition from a PHP monolith to a federated micro-frontend setup at Personio. They implemented orchestration and federation using Next.js as a module host and router. The use of federated modules and the integration library allowed for a single runtime while building and deploying independently. The Talk also highlights the importance of early adopters and the challenges of building an internal open source system.

Scale Your React App without Micro-frontends
This Talk discusses scaling a React app without micro-frontend and the challenges of a growing codebase. Annex is introduced as a tool for smart rebuilds and computation caching. The importance of libraries in organizing code and promoting clean architecture is emphasized. The use of caching, NxCloud, and incremental build for optimization is explored. Updating dependencies and utilizing profiling tools are suggested for further performance improvements. Splitting the app into libraries and the benefits of a build system like NX are highlighted.

The Age of Monorepos
Today's Talk is about the world of monorepos, their history, benefits, and features. Monorepos address challenges in web development, such as slow build processes and unstable connections on mobile devices. Collocation in monorepos enables easy sharing of functions and components among projects. Speed and efficiency in monorepos are achieved through collocation, dependency graphs, and task orchestration. Monorepo tools like Learnr offer features such as caching and distributed task execution. Monorepos provide code sharing, consistent tooling, and automated migration, resulting in a 10x developer experience.

Remixing Your Stack in a Monorepo Workspace
Let's talk about remixing our stack in a Monorepo workspace, which allows for incremental migration and is suitable for transitioning from a Next.js app to a remix stack. Refactoring may be required for feature-specific and Next.js-coupled components, but the process is simplified because the features have already been moved out. Configuring the Monorepo to reference packages locally and linking them to the Next.js application is necessary. Nx provides benefits like fast refreshing, pre-configured setups, and features like local and remote caching.

Multiple apis and multiple teams all in the same repository can cause a lot of headaches, but Nx has you covered. Learn to share code, maintain configuration files and coordinate changes in a monorepo that can scale as large as your organisation does. Nx allows you to bring structure to a repository with hundreds of contributors and eliminates the CI slowdowns that typically occur as the codebase grows.
